[PATCH net v1] net/sched: cls_api: complement tcf_tfilter_dump_policy

From: Lin Ma
Date: Sun Dec 24 2023 - 11:54:56 EST


In function `tc_dump_tfilter`, the attributes array is parsed via
tcf_tfilter_dump_policy which only describes TCA_DUMP_FLAGS. However,
the NLA TCA_CHAIN is also accessed with `nla_get_u32`. According to the
commit 5e2424708da7 ("xfrm: add forgotten nla_policy for
XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH"), such a missing piece could lead to a potential
heap data leak.

The access to TCA_CHAIN is introduced in commit 5bc1701881e3 ("net:
sched: introduce multichain support for filters") and no nla_policy is
provided for parsing at that point. Later on, tcf_tfilter_dump_policy is
introduced in commit f8ab1807a9c9 ("net: sched: introduce terse dump
flag") while still ignoring the fact that TCA_CHAIN needs a check. This
patch does that by complementing the policy.

Note that other functions that access TCA_CHAIN, like tc_new_tfilter,
are not vulnerable as they choose rtm_tca_policy as the parsing policy
which describes the TCA_CHAIN already.
